[magic tiger]

Imagine going to Sunny meadows, turn on the front light and Click when the ghosts room was boiler or downstairs (if the mares ability was global)

The bone has got to be the most troublesome thing they ever had to fix.

[hearty oak]

okay got all three objectives and correct ghost type and ghost photo is apoc 3 completed then?

[vast crown]

on 15x solo mode sunny meadows, yea

[lime token]

Yup

[magic tiger]

Y'know what'd be cool. if we had the ability to play phasmo in both VR and keyboard states.
You can look around, have the 360 view experience, Move using the keyboard, turn with the mouse, pick stuff up/interact by simply looking at the item.

[hearty oak]

thanks a lot guys didn‘t knew about the bone spot

[zinc coyote]

[strong monolith]

Looking for someone to help me beat apoc 3 solo if I stream it, dm me

[vast crown]

this is how i play elite dangerous with VR (it doesn't support vr controllers)

[magic tiger]

How does it have VR support if no controller support

[fast geyser]

Think we can get 200% ghost speed added?

[grim pebble]

What controller support? Buddy there is controller support how else u think console got phasmophobia

[wise oyster]

"it" referred to another game here, I believe

[grim pebble]

Yesh that person confused me

[wise oyster]

[zinc coyote]

Depends on the game, games like ED is a space sim in some ways so you use a native controller, keyboard or flight stick

Would be kinda nice to see that on phas at some point tho

[rain whale]

[wise oyster]

I wanna see the Phas steering wheel challenge

[zinc coyote]

Ive been tempted to set up my sim wheel for phas lol

[grim pebble]

That would be werid playing phasmophobia on a wheel would the paddles be running

[zinc coyote]

Paddles could be to change items

Or use item/ place

[wise oyster]

Downshift to smudge

Man that would feel like the slowest car ever

[lime holly]

apoc3 trophy with a steering wheel? Got it

[wise oyster]

do eet

[lime holly]

Nukapoc with a steering wheel

[fast geyser]

With lowest sens possible just to make it harder

[wise oyster]

@atomic leaf do you have a steering wheel?

[lime holly]

id try it if i had a steering wheel

[atomic leaf]

😭

[zinc coyote]

If I was good enough to do apoc back to back Id give it a shot

[wise oyster]

honestly it'd prolly be funny just watching someone play prof

[main meadow]

I wonder if paddles still cause issues like B4 lol

[hexed lynx]

A twitch streamer called CalmCoati was doing an apoc2 challenge with the steering wheel

[zinc coyote]

Pedals to move foward or back?

[lime holly]

U got a steering wheel?

[wise oyster]

oh yeah? that's cool

[zinc coyote]

Yeah

[lime holly]

lol nice

[hexed lynx]

it was very silly, but he got good at looping the ghost 😂

[main meadow]

We used to have to have some users unplug them when they were crashing

[lime holly]

Break petal move backwards. Gas petal go forward

[zinc coyote]

What about the clutch pedal?

[lime holly]

sprint toggler

actually sprinting should be the gear shifter

idk we dont need any use for that.

My car doesnt have a clutch pedal

[coral spruce]

can u record shiver me timbers audio

[topaz star]

Tube has a steering wheel with foot petals

[zinc coyote]

No

[coral spruce]

what a shame

[prime fossil]

I’m trying to get a perfect hunt right now but I’m having so much trouble getting one last photo of the ghost

It’s a mare, is there anything I can do to force it to be visible that isnt a hunt?

[snow parcel]

u gotta lock in

[prime fossil]

:(

[prime fossil]

Nevermind I got it using the music box

[strange flint]

I asked the monkey paw to release the update tomorrow. And the finger curled so

[hazy gull]

Does the Obambo chases before 24s when he's aggressive?

[stark dove]

wdym

if obambo hunts while aggressive, the hunt will be 20% shorter

[deep acorn]

can i report someone for calling me a loser in game

[hybrid crown]

What did you say loser?

[deep acorn]

😭

[hybrid crown]

No you can't

[delicate flint]

guys imagine it right, I’m doing apoco 3 . I get a deo all objectives done, I ran out of smudges and I died as soon as I got to the front door bc it hunted

:’)

[hybrid crown]

Should have looped it around nothing

[strange flint]

Rip, you'll get em next time

[zinc coyote]

Loop around a glowstick

[stark dove]

shouldve opened the door and walked outside

[lost swift]

so i just got phas. just played for the first time. no idea how to win.
i’m gathering my evidence. the ghost is coming. tell me why tf the first one they had me go find was a mimic ? i screeched

[delicate flint]

every thing I a mimic until proven other wise

[rapid ingot]

Unless there's no ghost orbs

[delicate flint]

I TRYED BRO.

[delicate flint]

Exactly by saying proven other wise.

[delicate flint]

I had nothing to loop around I was literally main entrance, it wasn’t big enough for me to loop a deo their

[hybrid crown]

Nah trust you can do it

[delicate flint]

#cry

[delicate flint]

really?

[hybrid crown]

No

[delicate flint]

exactly

I think imma just bate the game until it gives me another deo

1 in 27 chance

🤦🏽‍♀️

[grave mesa]

do you need help? coach? @delicate flint

[delicate flint]

like I’m not brutal at the game I’m prestige 9 but any time I play sunny meadows I freeze up so bad. like when I got the deo I had all objectives done I would of completed the challenge if the door didn’t lock and I had an extra smudge

[grave mesa]

it helps having someone in vc with you. if you need help lmk.

[delicate flint]

I would really appreciate that.

[lost swift]

it transformed into the one with a sickle

[delicate flint]

the what.

Sickle?-

[solemn stream]

there's a male ghost model that holds a sickle

[delicate flint]

IS THAT WHAT U CALL IT

man I just say a bat🤦🏽‍♀️

[lost swift]

yeah his hands went over my eyes and then there was hanging body bags

[solemn stream]

there's one with a bat aswell

[strange flint]

How can the ghost not see us hiding in the shower? Are they stupid?

[rain whale]

At least the ghost respects your privacy

[strange flint]

That's true actually. Maybe ghosts aren't so bad

[rain whale]

The ghost doesn't want to see you nakey.... unless it's Mr. Nakey.

[vernal quiver]

Wild

[willow forum]

Does an activity spike of 5 mean there's EMF 5

[solemn stream]

no

[mossy mason]

it is possible, but the activity chart is unreliable at best when it comes to EMF
much, much better to get the EMF reading off a reader

[dusk field]

Unless u know the twins ability but not as unreliable

[zinc coyote]

Add mac and cheese to phas

[wise oyster]

this is the type of content they should be teasing

imagine: "Bro, we're geting mac and cheese in tanglewood!"

[vast crown]

at night

[karmic vault]

Could not agree more

[vast crown]

do you think the ghost would make us some lamb vindaloo with the potatoes from sunny meadows and tanglewood?

[prime elk]

Phasmophobia is 30% off through Xbox's Multiplayer Madness Sale until February 25! Check out their store page for respective information on dates and qualifications!

[dry marlin]

the voicelines before starting have no meaning except cursed object one yes?

[carmine depot]

cursed object doesn't mean anything either

randomly generated lines just to add to the atmosphere

[dry marlin]

even for goyro right?

[carmine depot]

not sure which line you're talking about for goryo

[dry marlin]

the line about ghost sightings

[worn minnow]

Guys even with footstep speed and stuff how are you meant to identify the ghost these phasmaphobia sweats are crazy

[vestal ferry]

The truck voice lines mean nothing for investigation.

[carmine depot]

i don't know if that one is linked to goryo but either way it doesn't mean anything

[vestal ferry]

And i have my theory that the cursed object he speaks of is actually the bone.

[dry marlin]

weirds it really does seem like they do line up mostly every now and then

[dry marlin]

saying it cant be one

[vestal ferry]

Thats just rng. And they line up because there isnt a lot of voice lines to cycle through

[carmine depot]

the goryo thing only applies to the DOTS feature, not for overall sightings

goryos will still do events and stuff in front of people

[near breach]

can i rule off ghost writing if it throws the book in nightmare

[solemn stream]

No

[near breach]

ight

[solemn stream]

Can’t cross out evidence on 2/1/0 evidence

You can only cross out ghosts

[near breach]

okay

[oblique kayak]

can anyone help im new i want to learn how to do my first successful investigation please!

[oblique kayak]

i already did nobody responded

[vestal ferry]

Ok. Well. Thats where you go anyway. Sorry

[frosty bobcat]

I've had two games in a row where the ghost has spawned right on top of me during a hunt. I really wish there was a better sign on where they were at before the hunt started

[main meadow]

Motion sensors

[frosty bobcat]

Idrk, truthfully I don't think there's much I can do on it. Playing with 1 second grace period rn and the reaction time just wouldn't be able to save me in that situation

[main meadow]

Well like I said at least with motion sensors you'll know where the ghost is because they will always start the hunt from where they currently are standing except when twins (when doing long range hunt)

[frosty bobcat]

Yeah I suppose. With such a low grace period I do also struggle with telling whether its just an event or an actual hunt

I heard the heartbeat for barely a split second before dying

[main meadow]

Most of the time I try not to stand near where the ghost is either you don't really need to be in the room too much. Then you can be out of the room with a crucifix under your butt just in case of wandering

[snow turtle]

Hello to everyone, i‘m new at phasmophobia. Would someone mind to share some tips on how to Identify a ghost by it’s movement or behaviour?

[main meadow]

The award winning Cheat sheet can help with that.

Almost everything about anything we know

[snow turtle]

Oh thank you very much

[rain whale]

What ghosts did you get?

[frosty bobcat]

Moroi. Sanity got cooked due to curse

[rain whale]

Yeah... you cannot easily outrun that ghost.

[frosty bobcat]

Hey question rq since I'm not too sure: Will a phantom still disappear when a photo is taken of it even if you don't have anymore picture/video slots left?

Or do you have to have an available space

[zinc coyote]

Yes

Good way to tell phantoms during events

[frosty bobcat]

Huh, odd. Friend and I took a picture of the phantom after our photo space was full and it didn't disappear, but it did end up being a phantom (we got the ghost right from earlier testing)

[worn minnow]

I don’t think it like disappears in the house it like is not shown in the picture

[zinc coyote]

Taking a photo will cause it to disappear

[tawdry blade]

Is fingerprints guaranteed on an Obake!?

[frosty bobcat]

Yes, should be

Except on zero evidence

[snow turtle]

Does someone know how to distinguish a event from hunt?

I never really can tell

[lime token]

You'll hear the front door close/lock when it's a hunt

Also depending on what grace period you play at, during an event, the ghost will immediately start walking toward you if it's a walking event

So say you're playing on above 1 second grace period, you'll always know if the walking event is a ghost event

[snow turtle]

Yes i’ve heard this one on yt, the problem is every time i see the ghost i’m running like these are the last seconds of my life🙏

[lime token]

Ahh dw you'll get used to it via experience

I still sometimes mistake events for hunts lol

[snow turtle]

I watch many yt videos to learn much in phasmo and i think it helps i played sunny meadows on professional and found the ghost with 1 evidence and by its hunting. Mostly luck probably though

My biggest achievement yet

[keen verge]

I always just run towards the door even if it’s an event to see if it’s hunting 😭

[winter apex]

Same lol

[keen verge]

Just wait till u get a demon that immediately hunts as soon as u get inside right next to u 🤣

[winter apex]

If its hunting then so be it

Id rather get a recording than live

[keen verge]

If I’m going for money I cheese it and get all the media at the front door then guess the ghost

[lime tree]

i keep forgetting how to use tier 1 sound recorder

[keen verge]

Until it trolls me and scares the hell out of me slamming the door on my face

It’s legit just until u get full light bars and record 😭

[lime tree]

wdym?

[lime tree]

i always struggle getting hunt audio… idk i prefer the tier2 or 3 sound recorder

[keen verge]

Bruh legit on tanglewood if u sit Inbetween the door and outside u can make it as if ur inside Itll hunt and if it’s right next to the front u can get the sound

It hunts for 4 seconds record it and it’s a hunting audio

[main meadow]

Yes on 1 or more evidence BUT they do have an ability to NOT show them and an ability to cut time of current ones by half.

[winter apex]

I go to the kitchen and take the media mid hunt

I play on 0san so its pretty easy

Unless its a fast ghost then I just focus on survival

[keen verge]

I normally do x15 so it’s a bit hard to do kitchen 🤣

I haven’t gotten a Deo yet on x15 😅

[winter apex]

I do 10x

Really good multiplier since I basically never die on it and I have grace time 2

[keen verge]

Grace time 1 is just as easy too since youll move out of the way in time

I don’t do grace time though

[winter apex]

As soon as I put grace time 1 it ALWAYS hunted right on me

And of course it was fast ghosts too

[lime tree]

i never do 0 grace period, always 1-2 because im kinda scared

[winter apex]

I just go safe now

[keen verge]

All it is is so u don’t die immediately when it spawns but if u have a crucifix on u then ur safe

Once it burns it all hide in a cheese spot and then when it’s hunting go out and test it

[lime tree]

do you play with hiding spots?

[keen verge]

No official hiding spots

[lime tree]

i see, im still bad at trying to hide in unofficial hiding spots😭

[fleet sleet]

just get crucifix and pray 🤑

[keen verge]

The main ones on tanglewood is the front bedroom closet u close the doors on urself and then garage open right locker and close left on you then nursery sometimes works

[winter apex]

But then I do 2 trips

[keen verge]

You can still die in them but it hides you most the time

[winter apex]

I always go in with cameras and smudge

[fleet sleet]

I usually go with salt cruci and smudge

[keen verge]

I drop everything at the front door then go in with smudge crucifix video camera

Check for orbs do a Hunt go back drop camera and grab the next thing

[winter apex]

Nahhhhh

I usually do it very quickly on tanglewood

Wait 5-10 for a hunt, I guess and if I got any media then good im out

[west echo]

i got a mare that liked lights

[keen verge]

I go for perfect runs on no sanity

That would be impossible

[west echo]

it was in the tangle garage foyer thingy room

laundry room its called or something

I ALWAYS GET THE SAME 2 EVIDENCE AND THEN NONE WHILE I HAVE 3 ENABLED

so yeah i thought "it cant be a mare the lights been on here for the whole time and it hasnt turned off or changed ghost room"

so I left with revenany because I also didnt get any dots for 5 minutes straight

AND IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A FUCKING MARE

mods please fix this

[keen verge]

Ohhh I thought u meant it turned on the light mares don’t always turn off lights and it might’ve been in the garage instead

[solemn stream]

Mares can’t be ruled out by refusing to turn off the light

[west echo]

Nah there were orbs and writing in the laundry

[west echo]

But I also didnt get spirit box for 10 minuts straight

[keen verge]

Was it colder in the laundry or garage

[solemn stream]

Did you have all the lights on?

[west echo]

No it was in tanglewood laundry room so one light

[solemn stream]

You can’t get a spirit box response with the light on in the room

[west echo]

It was off dw

Wait maybe I need to press v while selecting the questions

[keen verge]

A way to test for a mare is by flicking the light on and off and it can use its ability to immediately turn it off

[solemn stream]

No, but the ghosts current location has to be within 4m of you

[west echo]

I dont know where it was, I thought laundry room because I had writing and orbs there

But it did an airball from the dining

[keen verge]

It would’ve been roaming

[solemn stream]

Motion sensors are always good for knowing where it is

[west echo]

Ion have those im only level uhh

level I-012

[keen verge]

You should unlock it In a few levels

[west echo]

and im broke because i keep getting the ghosts wrong

[solemn stream]

Letting the ghost hunt is a great way of ruling out some ghosts

[west echo]

AND I HAD THE SHYEST OBAKE OF ALL TIME

[west echo]

fuck no im scared

[solemn stream]

You can hide in a locker with a smudge. Just remember to keep closing the door if it gets opened

[west echo]

I dont have smudges im level 12 sob

[keen verge]

The only way u can’t hide is if it’s a deogen then u just loop it around the kitchen

[solemn stream]

Then hide in a locker/hiding spot far from the ghost room

[west echo]

Im gonna try tanglewood for the last time this morning

[keen verge]

The only way youll get used to the ghost and the game is by doing hunts and dying to it

[worthy mountain]

5 meters from player to spirit box, and 3/4/5 meters from spirit box to ghost. Depends on tier

[west echo]

I died to a deo 2 days ago because i thought it was an event

[solemn stream]

Didn’t know it was tier dependent, thanks!

[fleet sleet]

😭

[worthy mountain]

🫡

[west echo]

i fucking suck at this stupid game

[fleet sleet]

try edgefield/willow street they're goats

[keen verge]

On the lower tiers u have to spend longer on it since it flicks through slower

[west echo]

i hate my lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[solemn stream]

You’ll get better. We all started out like you ❤️

[west echo]

welp round two for today

[solemn stream]

Good luck!

[keen verge]

You can also do custom settings with friendly ghosts to get into the habit and be used to the game

[west echo]

btw can you see ghost orbs through the boys room bedroom window

from outside*

[keen verge]

As long as u open the door

The front door

[west echo]

omfg im dumb

i didnt open it sob

welp its not orbs in the boys bedroom

[keen verge]

Another way is by angling the camera u can see thru the wall it works best with tier 3

[west echo]

buddy

im level 12 sob

[keen verge]

U can do it with any camera I said

[west echo]

bathroom ghost it turned on shower

[keen verge]

It just works best with tier 3

[solemn stream]

Yes, you can see orbs from outside the house without opening the front door

[fleet sleet]

might be other rooms around it

[keen verge]

Can be anywhere around that area

[solemn stream]

Also on cctv cameras on the bigger maps without entering the location

[fleet sleet]

or stalking ghost /twins

[west echo]

btw how do i see emf5 through the activity chart

[solemn stream]

You don’t

[west echo]

insym does it but ion know how

[last drift]

You don't

[keen verge]

Long bar on 5

[solemn stream]

Incorrect

[keen verge]

U can

No u can I’ve done it many times

[last drift]

Hes wrong as often as hes correct

Confirmation bias do that

[solemn stream]

The activity board doesn’t correlate with emf 5 in any way

Or ghost types

[last drift]

The devs even said so

[keen verge]

It can u can work out twins emf on the activity board

[solemn stream]

No

[west echo]

instant writing and emf

[keen verge]

I do it in my games

[prime elk]

Note! The "twinteraction" activity level is not a game mechanic and the activity board cannot be used to guarantee a specific Ghost type or evidence type.

While it can be used to assist in identifying The Twins, all Ghosts are able to replicate such a pattern in activity.

Any failed attempts using this method cannot be filed as a bug report as it is not a mechanic. If this is reported or discussed as a real game mechanic, your messages will be deleted and actioned on accordingly.

[west echo]

OMFG THIS GHOST IS SHOWERING HOLY FUCK

[last drift]

Read above about how thats not a thing

[fleet sleet]

twins is a scam

[last drift]

"confirmation bias" be hell

[solemn stream]

I’m telling you, as a moderator and active player of the game, this is not a thing

[keen verge]

Every time it’s the twins whenever I use the board so it definitely does work

[west echo]

check screenshots

[solemn stream]

You’ve been lucky

[last drift]

Hey, were just telling ya the fact from dev approved sources.

[keen verge]

It may not be a legit thing but it still determines if it’s twins it doesn’t have to be a built in way

[last drift]

I cant prove mimic orbs arent different than any other orbs, I can just tell ya that "no. Shade wont always give freezing first"

[solemn stream]

It does not. It’s purely luck that you’ve managed

[last drift]

Whether ya believe it or not 🤷

[solemn stream]

Help us Bon

[modern mauve]

Not entirely true, the board does have a formula to it where EMF is concerned

[keen verge]

If I’m able to use the board to figure out twins every single time then it definitely works

[solemn stream]

Oops forgot the 5 in that msg

[west echo]

myling i got writing emf and uv

[modern mauve]

The twinteraction curve however isn't exclusive to the twins

[west echo]

yay new achievement -_-

YAY I GOT THE HEADCAM

[keen verge]

It’s not 100% but it does prove twins if you hear it and see the board

[west echo]

not gonna use it tho

[modern mauve]

Any ghost can replicate that curve by interacting with tripod or firelight

[fleet sleet]

U can't anyway in solo

[modern mauve]

As well as something else on quick succession

[west echo]

welp ima have a fast break (bekfast)

bai

[keen verge]

Don’t use those when it happens

[last drift]

Thats what I mean. "Confirmation bias"

It works when it works. We ignore when it doesnt.

[keen verge]

Tier 2 ones will be good when u get them

[solemn stream]

If you don’t believe us then that’s fine. We can’t make you. Just please don’t go telling others false info or your messages will be deleted

[last drift]

The board is pseudorandom generated. It's not equivical

[modern mauve]

The formula for the board is something like -1 and then a further -/+1, which is why a line of 5 isn't always emf5

[keen verge]

Even if it’s not a legit way it is still a very good way to determine twins and emf all it is is just not programmed in to be directly linked to that certain ghost still helps a lot

Also when a hacker joins ur lobby u can’t kick them can u?

[solemn stream]

If a cheater joins your lobby you report them via the recent players tab and send any evidence over to @violet nova

[keen verge]

I wish I recorded him flying around 😭😭

[solemn stream]

Some can disable the kick button so you’ll have to leave the lobby when it happens

[keen verge]

I just stayed In the lobby till he left no backing down here 😭🙏

He didn’t speak English but he sounded madddd🤣

[zinc coyote]

Cheaters are stinky

[keen verge]

I wish I had them on stream would be the easiest ban

[zinc coyote]

Dont have a clip?

[keen verge]

Nah I’m on PlayStation so I can’t even send them in on here

PlayStation need to step up their game and add the discord app on PlayStation

[zinc coyote]

Cant you download the clips to your phone or something?

Idk how ps does it

[keen verge]

I’m pretty sure it’s built into the cloud on PlayStation I’m not sure if u can transfer them over

Anyone reckon the teasers for the new map will be on new tanglewood?

[solemn stream]

We’ve already had two tanglewood teasers

[keen verge]

Not the tanglewood I meant the new map releasing this year

After tanglewood

[solemn stream]

Oooohh I’m slow

Maybe idk

Even if I knew I wouldn’t tell you

[keen verge]

😑😑😑

I see i see

[solemn stream]

I hope we get a teaser for the new map. I have theories

[keen verge]

Rev on ur next run 🪄

[solemn stream]

Ooohhh thanks!

[keen verge]

Gotta do it on x15 🙂‍↕️

[solemn stream]

Hmm sure

[keen verge]

I wish they bring asylum back 😓

[solemn stream]

Nah

Even if they wanted to I don’t think they can

[keen verge]

Imagine they make a graveyard map

[keen verge]

It’d probably need to be reworked with all the new stuff they’ve brought into the game but it is possible

[zinc coyote]

I'm guessing the next new map will be a carnival

[keen verge]

Or a hospital

[rain whale]

Or a cemetery

[keen verge]

I’m pretty sure it’ll be a medium map

[zinc coyote]

maybe a chic fil a

[keen verge]

Already got Nell’s diner

Tunnels

😭I would run if I got hunted in the tunnels 😭

Backed into a corner of a blocked off tunnel

[solemn stream]

I’d cry

[keen verge]

Maybe they’ll add in a clown ghost model

[zinc coyote]

A carnival is prodably what id like the most

Or a old church

[eternal wraith]

like the dbd map

[keen verge]

Best one yet they put a whole street in

Have to find which house the ghost is in 😭😭

[lament wing]

Sunny Meadows is the reworked Asylum, though?

[keen verge]

It’s a completely different model

Same concept but it’s different to what the asylum was

[lament wing]

They're both asylums, and I'm pretty sure that there's a hint of lore between the two.

[zinc coyote]

Yep

[solemn stream]

Please no

[zinc coyote]

Clowns are great

[solemn stream]

No

I beg

[zinc coyote]

[keen verge]

Imagine hearing the honks as it gets closer

You hear it stalking you around corners 😭

[lament wing]

I didn't play Asylum, but I read somewhere that Patient 07 was once admitted to Asylum, and at some point before Asylum was removed she wrote that she was being moved to some place called Sunny Meadows, which she hoped was a wonderful place, like it sounded.

[keen verge]

It ain’t nice no more 😭😭

[solemn stream]

https://tenor.com/view/hot-summer-scary-scared-creepy-gif-15679015046948620418

[lament wing]

True that

I'm just saying that I'm about 90% certain that Sunny Meadows is the rework for Asylum, since they're both asylums and Sunny Meadows was the replacement.

[zinc coyote]

Correct and you can see the markings in one of the padded sells with the UV

[zinc coyote]

It wasnt exactly reworked, more like a replacement

[keen verge]

It wouldn’t be a rework if she was transferred it’s a new asylum

[solemn stream]

Could’ve placed her in a different location while they revamped the asylum 🤷🏼‍♀️

[lament wing]

It could be, though. If they wanted to entirely rework the layout of the map and wanted an excuse to give it a new name.

[solemn stream]

We’ll find out when the lore update drops

[keen verge]

It’s most likely a new asylum they were located too which then went downhill and chaos happened there

[cunning sparrow]

Yo! The new tanglewood remake is going to be epic. I'm NOT looking forward to the basement! ANyone else?🤣

[keen verge]

I hope they don’t get rid of the Vision in the fog 😭

[solemn stream]

Hmm we haven’t seen a preview of the basement yet

[rain whale]

RIP Tanglewood Kitchen Island
2020-2026

[lament wing]

I mean, both maps are haunted, so maybe the authorities that owned the old Asylum decided to get outta there, and the ghosts was like "Aw hell nah, you ain't getting away from us that easily!"?

[keen verge]

Still gonna be loops 😛

[solemn stream]

Hint hint; it’s a cult

[cunning sparrow]

🤣 RIP.

But it'll still have another looping spot

[keen verge]

Most likely they all were crazy and attacked themselves and created a haunted place

[cunning sparrow]

I don't think we do know, but do we know what the new map with be?

[keen verge]

Kris is hoping for clowns on a carnival 😅

[lament wing]

The ghosts were former members of a cult? Or the "authorities" that may have owned the Asylum(s) were cult members?

[lament wing]

The staff or the patients?

[keen verge]

The patients which attacked the staff too

[cunning sparrow]

This is quite the story

[lament wing]

I could imagine the patients beating the sh*t out of eachother and the staff.

[solemn stream]

Hmm I don’t know. All I know is there’s a cult and they get their cursed objects from our very own ghost huntin’ distribution

[cunning sparrow]

Are you chatting about lore?

[keen verge]

I’m gonna miss the back bends 😓

[solemn stream]

Yes

[lament wing]

Maybe the cult members are Ghost Hunters that became insane after witnessing ghosts roaming about and decided to worship them for whatever reason?

[cunning sparrow]

Phasmophobia lore

[solemn stream]

Yes

[lament wing]

Wait, worship's probably the wrong word...

[cunning sparrow]

Like factual lore or speculatiing?

[keen verge]

Spec

[cunning sparrow]

Oh right fair! Thats cool!

[solemn stream]

All lore I know has already been confirmed

[lament wing]

Speculations, most likely. The game has very little lore.

[keen verge]

Some real some spec

[lament wing]

Wait, really?

[solemn stream]

Though it may be subject to change in the upcoming lore update

[solemn stream]

I don’t tell lies

[cunning sparrow]

I missed the beginning of the convo...

[keen verge]

It’s in the chat still

[lament wing]

I honestly expected Phasmophobia to be a game where there was no lore, and the devs just explained things with magic being behind 'em or something.

[cunning sparrow]

Is the dead body in asylum really the one ghost model?

[solemn stream]

Lisa, yes

[lament wing]

If the models match, then probably.

[cunning sparrow]

By the time I got back i'm going to miss everything now and just be in a cycle

[solemn stream]

Aka patient 07

[lament wing]

She got a factual name as well? I thought she was just referred to as Patient 07 AKA Grudge or whatever else she's known as.

[solemn stream]

The community call her Lisa

[keen verge]

Imagine they actually kept the game as vr only they chose right to make it vr optional

[cunning sparrow]

Yeah yeah okay

[winter apex]

There is a dead body?

[lament wing]

VR is probably even scarier.

[cunning sparrow]

Yip lol

[winter apex]

Where...

[solemn stream]

Yes, in the morgue

[keen verge]

It’s janky atm

[cunning sparrow]

Saw it the first time a while ago. in SUnny

[lament wing]

Current Sunny Meadows? Or we're talking about the removed map?

[solemn stream]

Current

[cunning sparrow]

nope its current

and yes in SUnny

[lament wing]

Oh, damn.

[cunning sparrow]

Sunny Meadows*

[cunning sparrow]

Scary and kinda cool tbh

[keen verge]

Gosh I have to do apoc 3 still 😓

[lament wing]

That sounds like a place where it makes sense to have a body.

[cunning sparrow]

🤣 💯

[solemn stream]

True. Much better than the body bag under the lodge

[cunning sparrow]

I need to do apoc 1

lol

[keen verge]

If u do apoc 3 I’m pretty sure it gives u all of them

[cunning sparrow]

That's been removed now though right? That was a cool find bacck in the day

[solemn stream]

Yes

[solemn stream]

Still there

[cunning sparrow]

ah Okay that's good to know

[lament wing]

Scary? Not necessarily, unless the cause of death was being murdered by some supernatural being or something. Cool? Yes. It fits Phasmophobia, to be honest. I honestly kinda wish the ghost models we do have, we could find the remains of their human self in some map.

[keen verge]

I’m debating on doing apoc 3 on vr

[solemn stream]

Maybe we’ll get it with the lore update

[cunning sparrow]

Well you have the Morgue and then we used to have the body bag under the house which I think is being removed.

[cunning sparrow]

Looking forward to this!

[lament wing]

And I'm not talking about the bones you find one of in each Investigation, I mean like some half bodies, like an upper or lower body in some guaranteed position.

[cunning sparrow]

I don't know about that 🤣 but anything a little more would be cool for lore

[lament wing]

I'm not sure if the bones are part of the models.

[keen verge]

Insym accurately filled out the note on bleasdale didn’t he?

[lament wing]

It would make sense though. Phasmophobia is a horror game where you hunt ghosts. Why wouldn't you be able to find the remains of the ghosts' human selves somewhere?

[cunning sparrow]

Does anyone know which channel here on discord, I can find phasmophobia updates... All I see is general chat.... phasmo chat and stream links...

[keen verge]

U can go into the lists and activate them

[solemn stream]

https://discord.com/channels/435431947963990026/435432357491769344

[lament wing]

#game-announcements and #development-preview is probably what you're looking for.

[cunning sparrow]

💯 Yeah it makes sense.

[solemn stream]

Oh well I guess I don’t need to link them then

[keen verge]

U have to go to channel roles and all channels and tick them

[cunning sparrow]

Thank you!!

[cunning sparrow]

thanks you! !

Strange but that was hidden for me

[cunning sparrow]

Ooooh I see

[solemn stream]

You probably forgot to add the role. It happens

[keen verge]

It was for me too I think it’s as u join u have to manually add them

[solemn stream]

I’m actually glad you linked them. I couldn’t find them XD

[lament wing]

No worries

[keen verge]

Bruh I’m not doing this weeks challenge I hate Grafton 😭😭

[solemn stream]

Grafton is fun

[cunning sparrow]

We’ll be adding a host of new things to capture for all media alongside this update to make sure those dedicated Ghost Hunters have plenty to fill their book with.

[solemn stream]

I love the ambient sound

[cunning sparrow]

This is so exciting!

[solemn stream]

That’s already been done

Chronicle was the media update

[cunning sparrow]

oh... then what's new according to this one

[keen verge]

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me I was wondering why the font looked different😭

[solemn stream]

We got sound recorder and new videos and pictures

[lament wing]

I think Grafton Farmhouse is one of the few maps that really fit Phasmophobia.

It's meant to be a game that scares the shit outta you.

[keen verge]

It’s not that it scares me I’m used to it all just bad luck on that map 😭

[lament wing]

I like it, personally. It's one of my favorite maps aesthetically.

[lament wing]

I get bad luck on Bleasdale and Sunny Meadows

[keen verge]

On those I have the best luck I find the ghost room 2 minutes in

[prime elk]

[keen verge]

I tried looking into the new map picture thinking there would be something there

[solemn stream]

Nah it’s just tarot cards

[cunning sparrow]

oooh the new cursed items!

[solemn stream]

Or the corkboard?

[lament wing]

I honestly don't know how people can play for about 2-3 weeks and already pass Apocalypse 3. I've played for about a month or two and I refuse to do Apocylypse 3 for the most part, only time I dare do it is when I'm sleepy, because then I don't think twice

[keen verge]

I wonder if theyd add a new cursed item

[solemn stream]

I can’t tell

[solemn stream]

Wha?

[lament wing]

I hate Apocalypse 3 so much, it's just RNG for the most part.

[cunning sparrow]

I'll not even talk about how long I've been playing

[keen verge]

I’ve been playing for about 2 months and I’m getting into apoc 3 I’ve been doing x15 on tanglewood

[lament wing]

Closer to say 2-3 months, actually. I started playing back in mid-November, and played actively until early February, so almost 3 months.

[cunning sparrow]

I read somewhere that we'd be getting a new map and 2 new cursed items...

[solemn stream]

I’ve heard nothing about cursed objects

The new map is correct tho

[lament wing]

We're getting a new map, yes, but I don't think we're getting any new Cursed Possessions.

[lament wing]

Not really worth it to practice on Tanglewood, though. Sunny Meadows is too vastly different, imo.

[keen verge]

Imagine a ghost with the ability to possess

[cunning sparrow]

I am SO sure I read this somewhere but now I'm not 100% sure where I read about the cursed items... And there are so many lies that spread in the community so maybe that isn't true. But I could have sworn I read somewhere we were going to get dice and somethin else...

[lament wing]

I started practicing 150% Ghost Speed at some point, but all I need to do is remind myself that normal ghosts at that modifier move at young Thaye's pace.

[solemn stream]

Like I said, I know nothing about any new objects being in the works

I doubt it’s true

[cunning sparrow]

I might have fallen victim to misinformaiton

[keen verge]

I just play one to listen then leave see if it’s a normal ghost so I have a base

[lament wing]

I think the closest to that was a ghost type that took on the appearance of a random member of the party, I don't think it ever released, but I heard from an interview such a ghost was in the works.

[solemn stream]

It’s alright. It happens

[lament wing]

Ghosts at 150% speed move at 2,55 m/s, which is only slightly slower than young Thaye's 2,75 m/s. The idea of normal ghosts moving at young Thaye speed at 150% is almost exactly correct.

[keen verge]

It could work with the new movement coming but atm everyone moves crazy u would know instantly

[keen verge]

Yeah but if ur coming from playing normal speed it’s always good to have a listen first

[lament wing]

That's fair, I just have Thaye's speed almost memorized, which helps me tell if it's a normal speed ghost on Apocalypse 3.

[keen verge]

In apoc 3 can u have tier 2 smudge?

[lament wing]

I still refuse to do it, though. I don't feel that I possess the good luck for that.

[lament wing]

Yes. Tier 1 and 2 both work, it's only 3 that isn't recommended. Which is sad in my opinion because Tier 3 is my favorite.

I understand why it's not recommended, but I just like 3 the most.

[keen verge]

It’s probably because ur not gonna be able to hide well so if u smudge with tier 3 Itll stay in ur spot

Tier 1 is best for it since Itll go away fast

[lament wing]

Eh, not so much.

[keen verge]

If it’s a moroi tho that would be good for tier 3

[lament wing]

Tier 1 has killed me on all my decent attempts.

[winter apex]

T2 is the best for media

Doesn't stop the ghost so it can still move away but you can still get time to get media

[keen verge]

It’s probably a good idea to bring all of them into the door so u can grab them whenever u use one

[lament wing]

I got a Deogen twice, and a Revenant once. Revenant was my closest, but I was forced to hide in a stupid spot, so that one's not the smudge's fault. The Deogen, however, was indeed the smudge's fault imo.

[keen verge]

A DEO WOULD BE SO GOOD

Even if it’s faster if u have all ur smudges near u u can get the objectives done and stay alive without looping and dying

Especially tier 1 smudges send it the other way get photo comes back smudge again do the other evidence smudge again the final evidence or if it’s something u need to do in ghost room u have 1 30

[lament wing]

I smudged my two Deogens before they could kill me, but they refused to go away, they just zoomed around until I just accepted my fate.

[keen verge]

Do it near the front door so u know where it’s gonna go and come from

[lament wing]

I did that, though.

[keen verge]

If u have all 4 smudges youll survive a hunt

[lament wing]

I tried to get away, but the blind ended as it was right in front of me, I couldn't get away.

I used two dang smudges in one hunt, both blinds ended right as it was about to kill me.

[lament wing]

Perhaps, yes, but I was done with that bs. I don't trust the T1, anymore.

[keen verge]

Tier 2 will just keep it closer to u

[lament wing]

Better to have it closer to me and I can have more reaction time to plan ahead to get away than have the mf zooming around like a headless chicken.

[keen verge]

It would be a lot harder especially if u get a Deo

[lament wing]

No, not until the blind ends.

[keen verge]

Other than Deo u could go in with the main objectives plus a smudge and para mic

And crucifix

[lament wing]

If it's slower I can keep track of where it's going better.

[keen verge]

My headset is surround so I hear exactly where it is

[lament wing]

I get that T1 is good for Apocalypse, but outside of that, it's meh at best, and even on Apocalypse, it simply causes it to become a headless chicken. My RNG is not good when it comes to having the ghost leave my room.

I don't trust luck, so I like the T3. Unfortunately, the T3 won't work on Apocalypse, unless it's a Deogen, so if I don't want to reroll for a Deogen I'm forced to stick with T2.

[keen verge]

A very good one would be shade won’t be as active

Imagine they add a hotel map

[lament wing]

Nah, Shade is not as easy to tell. Better to have something obvious, like the Revenant or Thaye, or something.

[keen verge]

Shade is pretty easy if u go to ghost room

And u can tell by the activity since most will be pretty active

[amber olive]

Shades are easy for me for some reason

[long pecan]

I had a shade for my apoc 3 and I literally only got it bc ghost room was the room to the left of entrance

if it's a far ghost room it's gonna be basically impossible to tell

[keen verge]

Not really if u have para mic and travel room by room

[long pecan]

that sounds like a death sentence

[keen verge]

It’s how insym done it too

[lament wing]

Why tf would you go there if you have 0 grace period, only have 4 Crucifix charges and and 4 smudges?

[keen verge]

It’s the only way really to get to it if it’s far

[long pecan]

are we all insym?

[keen verge]

If u smudge it u have 1.30 do it quickly and hide somewhere else then keep moving room to room

[long pecan]

leave the map and guess

[keen verge]

Can’t win apoc if u do that

Have to do objectives

[lament wing]

Once again, luck. Only thing I have to trust luck on is giving me a ghost type that's not too obscure.

[long pecan]

if you're going for like actual apoc 3 comp
if you get a far normal speed ghost just reset ong

not gonna be worth your time

[keen verge]

It’s a challenge it’s supposed to be hard

[long pecan]

ok do it your way 👍

[keen verge]

It proves u can accomplish the game

[deft loom]

Skill only gets u so far in apoc 3

Its still heavy rng

[keen verge]

Doing it the easy way will feel good but pushing urself to the challenge every chance u get will feel way better

[lament wing]

If you realize it's far, reset.

[keen verge]

Then it’s not really a challenge if ur not trying with each try

And even after apoc 3 u can push it further by going for a perfect run on apoc 3

[lament wing]

Apocalypse 3 is just luck, no sense in trying.

Apocalypse 2 is the absolute hardest skill based challenge.

[stark dove]

Crazy take

[lament wing]

Pure skill based, not 90% luck and 10% skill.

[keen verge]

It’s all a challenge it’s made to be hard

[deft loom]

I got teleported to and run down by a wraith on apoc 3, i guess i should have been better

[lament wing]

Perhaps, but the RNG factor is too harsh to be skill-based.

[deft loom]

100% power of will

[lament wing]

Fr, though.

[stark dove]

80 skill 20 luck

[lament wing]

Turn that around, and you get a more correct answer, tbh.

[keen verge]

You have to get objectives done to which means it takes skill as well it’s tests you

[lament wing]

Some of the objectives are really harsh to get, though.

[deft loom]

Especially since the media update

[lament wing]

2 Sound Recorder audios? Bish, why would I get violated for daring to enter event range for some audios?

[keen verge]

Getting a different ghost is luck but completing it takes skill if it wasn’t skill then a player who’s never played could beat it

[lament wing]

The objectives are the 10-20% skill, though. They can be near-impossible to complete if your luck is bad enough.

Wait, actually. Split the skill part 50/50 if the ghost is obscure.

[keen verge]

It’s not luck that gets u the win it’s the work u put in and the skill because if u don’t know what ur doing u won’t have a chance

Harder objectives harder the challenge

[lament wing]

Okay, fine. 60% luck, 40% skill at the very best.

[deft loom]

It is def both

U could be the best player but just get bad luck

Ghost runs in ur hiding spot etc

[keen verge]

With the ghost it can be luck but also skill if u know what to do

[lament wing]

You'd still have a chance if you don't know exactly what you're doing but you get good enough luck with objectives and the ghost type.

[keen verge]

Most rooms u can hide behind desks

[deft loom]

Most rooms dont have desks lol

[crude cloud]

does anybody want to play

[deft loom]

#lfg-na

[keen verge]

They do and if the room doesn’t have a desk u can go into an extra room and then if u have single rooms hide in the corner if the ghost comes in smudge and stay there

[crude cloud]

my bad i’m new lolll

[lament wing]

On the available ones, yes, but let's be real, the desks are mostly in the middle of the room or maybe a little closer to the door, you'd need luck for the ghost to not search at least half of the room.

[keen verge]

Or as eu sa

[lament wing]

Doesn't disprove the luck part. What if the ghost simply feels like staying?

[lament wing]

They looked at the region role.

[keen verge]

Most the time Itll turn the opposite way depending on which u use

[keen verge]

I’ve had ppl play in different ones that chose as

[lament wing]

I didn't say it's no skill at all. But let's be real if we say that nobody had a Deogen, the amount of people beating Apocalypse 3 would be halved, if not less.

[agile holly]

Woo after 2 years of playing finally went for apoc 3, took a few days but got it!

[lament wing]

Congratulations!

[deft loom]

What was yr winning ghost

[keen verge]

And that’s the challenge and u feel accomplished if u always think it’s luck u won’t have the motivation

You’ll feel ripped off

[agile holly]

I refused to reset for good ghosts, was getting really close just needed pics, but got a deogen for the last one. Probably gonna go back eventually and try on a non deo since I was getting extremely close on others

[lament wing]

It is luck, though. It's a bs challenge filled with tons of luck and very little skill. Which is why I strongly believe Apocalypse 2 is the absolute hardest pure skill based challenge.

[stark dove]

Ofc there's rng Involved and some games will be easier than others, this goes for any challenge and map. It doesn't mean it's more luck than skill though

[lament wing]

Apocalypse 2 lets you manipulate enough settings that you can make it pretty much 100% skill based.

Apocalypse 3 does not.

[stark dove]

How

3 is harder and you need more skill

[keen verge]

It’s a challenge it’s supposed to be hard ur supposed to struggle and ur supposed to be able to prove urself it takes time

If it was all luck it wouldn’t even be a challenge

[lament wing]

No, you don't. With terrible luck you ain't winning Apocalypse 3, you can still win Apocalypse 2 with terrible luck, though.

[lament wing]

Once again, I never said Apocalypse 3 is pure luck, I only said that luck is most of the winning factors.

[keen verge]

Even ask the devs ask people who have beaten it some will say they got it the easy way some will tell you they put in the work and spent time figuring it out

Why do u think it’s an achievement

[lament wing]

As if luck doesn't have achievements? What about Doom Slayed?

[keen verge]

Just get a demon that isn’t really luck it uses its ability if u go into no sanity

[stark dove]

apoc3 is timing skills and sneaking skills. Apoc2 is way more forgiving and you can make a lot of mistakes

[agile holly]

I think im on both sides of the fence. Apoc 3 can either be a skill based achievement or you can reset for an easy ghost. Most of my losses weren't to bad luck though but bad planning. Like an obambo roaming into my hiding spot when I just needed the ghost photos and forgot my smudges

[keen verge]

I do x15 all the time on the smaller maps not as challenging but still takes skill

[lament wing]

Heck, if we go that farfetched, what about all the "discover x and survive" achievements? You could get terrible luck with achievement and never get a Spirit or whatever it is you need to get a certain achievement.

[keen verge]

It’s just multiplies the ghost makes it harder

[modern mauve]

Apoc 3 is like 90% skill

[keen verge]

Just because u think u have bad luck doesn’t make apoc 3 all luck

[lament wing]

Still didn't say Apocalypse 3 is all luck. I'm only saying it's more luck than skill.

[keen verge]

It’s not like tic tac toe first to place normally wins its skill effort and time put into the game

It’s hard put in the time and learn the game understanding the ghost how they work and work ur way to it and u will eventually be able to complete it its why it’s an achievement and why it’s an accomplishment

Sure getting a close ghost room is lucky but it doesn’t beat the fact u still have to complete objectives and guess the ghost without dying

[somber bane]

its very common to keep rolling the objectives until you get something feasible

[agile holly]

I definitely did this

[lament wing]

Guess the ghost without dying and doing objectives, depending on how harsh the objectives are, is about 30-40%-ish skill, the rest is really just luck.

[keen verge]

Its nowhere near luck it takes skill

[stark dove]

"I didn't get perfect rng, game rigged, no skill needed"

[keen verge]

Played 5 minutes already know this game is all luck

You have to know what ur doing in order to beat it otherwise you will lose over and over

That is skill u learn as u play

Skill

[lament wing]

I'd say the only luck based is probably get the sounds. You'd have to get close enough to an event to get sounds, I'm pretty sure. If you've got terrible luck and the ghost doesn't feel like eventing but it burns all your crucifix charges, you're pretty much screwed. Smudging it assumes it turns around and leaves you alone long enough.

[keen verge]

Bring a para mic u listen from a distance u don’t need events

[lament wing]

A sound is forced every 1m 20s, I believe, but crucifix stopping hunts happen once every 10-20 seconds or so, no?

Assuming the ghost is aggressive.

[keen verge]

If it hunts on u multiple times then u have a teleporting ghost depending on how far u are from the ghost room Itll immediately give u the ghost

[lament wing]

Apocalypse? Nah, I've poured in about half a day worth of attempts.

[lament wing]

Sound Recorder. Not Parabolic Microphone, that's the scenario I used as an example.

[keen verge]

U don’t need the sound recorder unless it’s an objective

Para mic to figure the area where the ghost is if it’s teleporting to hunt on u and ur far from the room then most likely a wraith if ur pretty close to the room but far enough it has to teleport banshee phantom and wraith then u work it out frim those

If none of them u base it off speed and sound

Then if it’s normal speed test for Jin and others

[agile holly]

I always brought motion sensors and emf to test banshee phantom or wraith. So useful

[somber bane]

ok say you have a goryo what's your plan

[lament wing]

I said that's the most luck based...

[keen verge]

Don’t really need them those are a waste of space if u know the ghost room and ur a fair distance if it’s teleported to u u know it’s between those 3 u already have a para mic that’s banshee test bring in salt after hunt tests for wraith if it’s around then phantom u can just test by getting close either an event or a hunt

[deft loom]

My winning run was with a banshee

I def felt lucky

[keen verge]

Go towards the room and I’m pretty sure they will mainly hunt from the room itself more than around it

[deft loom]

It kept hunting in the room with me when it wasnt the ghost room

[agile holly]

I had a banshee in one attempt and I swear all she did was scream

[somber bane]

it also could be any ghost that just decides to do that

[keen verge]

Goryo are the main ones since ur gonna be there for a while u can tell

[lament wing]

without risking your life, since you're snail pace and crucifixes can only hold it for so long, it's really difficult pinning what specifically is the ghost room.

[keen verge]

Para mic tier 3

[vagrant ocean]

is billy a boys name or for both

[keen verge]

U can detect each hunt which area move closer then listen for which room it starts

Listen for thrown objects

[deft loom]

My aunts moms name is billy

But probably male lol

[keen verge]

Billy is boy I think Billie is girl in the game

[lament wing]

Specifically, as in what room. All ghosts besides Goryo can make quite a bit of noise, which T3 Parabolic Microphone can detect and mark for you.

[vagrant ocean]

all good, thanks 🙂

[vagrant ocean]

thanks for the info, didnt know there was different spelling, though it was the same spelling

[keen verge]

Throwing objects is mainly the ghost room and can be the hallway next to it

[lament wing]

If it's small enough, you may be unlikely to get the specific room, plus the mf likes to roam around and change rooms, no?

[covert viper]

Big B

[keen verge]

It can but since the breaker is off and lights off less chance to change

[lament wing]

Breaker and lights off doesn't determine its likelihood of changing, well besides the Mare.

Though Mare isn't necessarily more likely to change if we're being nitpicky, only roam.

[keen verge]

It does if u have the lights on the ghost will most likely change since it would rather a dark cold room a mare just hates the lights and will avoid them and turn them off

[signal oracle]

could anyone hop in a call w me ive just installed in my first game rn and keep running out of the building cuz icl ts scary

[keen verge]

Lfg groups

[covert viper]

Buff mares when

[keen verge]

Bruh I think they already enough I turn on a switch and it constantly turns it off immediately

[covert viper]

Bru what

[lament wing]

No, lights only determine activity, not likelihood regarding changing rooms.

[covert viper]

They like never did that for me

Like translating novels in morse code on the light switches still mostly never even bothered

Smh

[covert viper]

Maybe try some easier difficulties

[lament wing]

They're of no threat, though. Completely normal and only some small inconvenience with the switches. I can understand their want to buff the Mare.

[signal oracle]

im on the easiest one

[keen verge]

It did it back to back 13 times

I think they on speed 😭

Once u get to customs u can set ur own difficulty and do friendly ghost to get used to the game

[covert viper]

👀 then it's ez just embrace the spooks

[lament wing]

By custom you're already used to the game, I think, though. Level 50 should mean you're used to the game.

I can understand getting used to maps, I suppose, but not the game. Perhaps maps is what you meant?

[keen verge]

Some people aren’t because they could be waiting in the truck while others go in

[covert viper]

Not the biggest fan of lowkey map/room dependant ghosts smh

[lament wing]

Fair, I'm assuming you're relatively active, or maybe even go solo, as I did.

Though if you're a van princess/prince, why would you keep going until level 50+? That sounds so boring.

[keen verge]

I used to rely on others for equipment but always went inside first and did evidence and everything for my first time but now I do solo mainly no evidence and no sanity and don’t mind tier 1

Some people are different and like looking at the cameras

Everyone goes at their own pace

For me I did 1 prestige in a few hours and just got over the fear and had the mindset u die u die u restart

[plush mountain]

Is there a problem with in game mic again? Mine is not picking up sound.

[lament wing]

A few hours? You must've done high difficulty.

I went solo for almost the entire ride of Prestige 0, took me a bit over 2 weeks to reach P1.

[keen verge]

It’s an ongoing issue with anyone it happens randomly

[keen verge]

Mainly x10 and x15

Since my friend was already prestiged we had customs

[plush mountain]

Switching to system voice makes it pick it up as far as the test bar goes, but I couldn't use the Monkey Paw last night, and I can't use the Ouija Board now

[lament wing]

x15 your first games?

[plush mountain]

The spirit box seems to work though

[brave prairie]

Hey, in general, what items do you all go in with (still in intermediate mode)? We are two that play, so 6 items only is always tough, even on medium maps. My main question would be if torch is an absolute must or is there some other smart "thing" people do?

[keen verge]

Ohh the monkey paw just sometimes doesn’t work when u say the words there is multiple different voice activations u can say but other than that if it doesn’t work switch to text to use it for that game

[hazy current]

From my experience with only 2 of us if we still want a perfect game I grab sound recorder thermometer and dots while my teammate usually gets a photo cam video cam and emf

We go back to the truck to get the rest of what we need

[plush mountain]

That's what I did last night, but using text with the Ouija Board can get dangerous, and it makes it especially hard to get the last video I need with it

But also, how is this still happening after 4 years?

[brave prairie]

Thank you 🙏 @tacit niche

[keen verge]

If ur playing on inter u have a setup time u can bring all the items u need mainly video photo and sound recorder for media and then motion sensor and para mic for objectives and smudges and also candles

[hazy current]

Second trip inside assuming we found the ghost room I grab ghost book spirit box and most likely a video cam if we don't have one or need another or the incense

Also make sure SOMEONE has a cross in the beginning

[keen verge]

The board uses 50% sanity each use

[deft loom]

Depends on whats asked

[keen verge]

Theyre playing in inter there is a setup time

No any use of the board uses 50%

[deft loom]

Incorrect

[hazy current]

Yeah you're right but it's still a good habit to pick up

[keen verge]

No it’s been that way for ages

[deft loom]

I promise it isn't

[keen verge]

Try it use the board and check ur sanity it drops 50

[hazy current]

50% is crazy

[brave prairie]

Aye, what we normally do is I go in with temp, book and photo camera and he goes in with cam, torch and emf.... I thought we could drop the torch completely if there is something else that can provide some light.

[hazy current]

My friend uses the board petty much every time it's there and I've never seen the sanity dip that low from it

[keen verge]

It’s why it breaks after u ask a second question

[plush mountain]

I mean, that depends on what you're asking, but I just mean it can be problematic to have a text menu up while dropping your sanity into hunt range.

[deft loom]

Because they're incorrect lol

[plush mountain]

Oh, that's just wrong lol

[flint ether]

stubborn people won't admit wrong

[hazy current]

Wait when u say torch are u referring to fire lights?

[keen verge]

Bruh check again

[deft loom]

Oh my b

[plush mountain]

The only question that takes 50% sanity is "Where are you?"

Other questions take 20, 10, or 5

[keen verge]

And if u ask for hide and seek it will immediately drop it all

[deft loom]

That just breaks the board

[brave prairie]

No not firelight, torch

[plush mountain]

Hide and Seek actually doesn't take any sanity

[keen verge]

It also ruins ur sanity

[flint ether]

yepp

[deft loom]

No

[plush mountain]

Hide and Seek breaks the board and starts the hunt, but it costs 0% sanity

[keen verge]

Yes it does bruh 😭😭😭

[deft loom]

He's trolling

[hazy current]

Well with setup time u have time to bring everything else before the incense

I'd say bring it either after everything else is set up or after the first crucifix burn

Be mindful of your sanity too

[keen verge]

Do u barely play the game?? 😭

[plush mountain]

It can be really problematic in fact if you have hunt and cruci objectives, and you break the board with hide and seek, but you still have 90% sanity. Then you just have to wait.

[flint ether]

nah cuz is it allowed to purposefully spread misinformation here???

[tacit niche]

Can you explain what you mean? Like, we are identifying the room first thing. So we just leave everything by the front door at the start.

[deft loom]

[plush mountain]

I have 900+ hours, plus probably twice that watching streamers. And yet I've never heard this bizarre piece of misinformation loll

[tacit niche]

And take stuff that helps us identify the room.

[delicate flint]

WISH ME LUCK FOR APOCO 3 TODAY GUYS🤷🏼‍♀️

[deft loom]

They're rage baiting

[tacit niche]

Good luck.

[deft loom]

First try deo

[topaz star]

Gl, ||it's a raiju||

[delicate flint]

ty ty

[delicate flint]

HA ILL LEAVE UNTIL ITS A DEO

[delicate flint]

god I love this comment

[topaz star]

Naa play for realz

[hazy current]

Okay that's a little different then. My friends and I don't normally bring things to the door but I'm basically referring to everything I bring in the house/to the ghost room in order

[plush mountain]

This discord and community in general has a big enough problem with misinformation without people doing it on purpose.

[delicate flint]

hushhhh

[flint ether]

loll I think they actually were wrong but are now doubling down

[plush mountain]

And if they're playing dumb, then they're really good at it lol

[tacit niche]

Ah okay, so I guess we are talking about, playing as a duo and specifically bringing things to identify the room.

[hazy current]

I was thinking of doing the same thing whenever it was time to attempt

[hazy current]

To identify the room bring thermometer emf and sound recorder

Also a video cam to check for ghost orbs

[delicate flint]

and you got this! Be strategic with smudges tho. Know how to use para

[keen verge]

No he’s completely wrong if it only drops 20 sanity it wouldn’t hunt after the second use they most likely play without sanity meter

[delicate flint]

and then hope for easy objectives

[hazy current]

The para mic is stingy with me ngl

[tacit niche]

Aye Im thinking of bringing EMF and Parabolic instead of video camera. Maybe it’s better than slowly scanning everywhere for orbs.

And once the room is ID’d then you can just check for orbs there.

[hazy current]

Well if the power is on thermometer is your best friend for the room

[tacit niche]

Ofc, but it’s just very slow.

[hazy current]

What tier thermometer do u have?

[tacit niche]

And then on professional if it changes, we need it fast ya know

[delicate flint]

with a deo it’s so handy because it sounds like super fucking fast next min it’s at you. Then smudge take ur photo and go towards the chapel and loop

[tacit niche]

Getting two tonight probably

[delicate flint]

so ez

[hazy current]

2 works for what I'm talking about. Tier 1 is a nuisance so I understand

[tacit niche]

With tier 2, can you just walk into a room, hold it till it gives the reading, and then leave straight away?

That’s much faster if so.

[delicate flint]

Yuh

with their 2 temp you can hold down as much as u want to find the room

It will tell u the room easy enough

[tacit niche]

Thank you. So in terms of optimisation, on difficulties with setup timers, the temp won’t be accurate for the ghost room straight away right? Or have I misunderstood?

[keen verge]

The ghost room gets cold over time even without a setup timer

[tacit niche]

Good to know thank you!

[keen verge]

If u do custom turn breaker off Itll be colder quicker

[delicate flint]

:D

Very true, plus you will have breath

[keen verge]

And it also depends on the weather

If it’s snowing u will have cold breath everywhere

[brave prairie]

Trust me

[tacit niche]

Ig I just want to get it down faster, so we can move to professional. We are pretty comfy on intermediate on the small maps. But the medium and larger maps are a problem for us as a duo. Because we are like, slowly walking around with tier 1 temp and video camera seeing what each room is like.

[lapis orchid]

Is salt desync a known issue or something I should report? :(

My friend saw disturbed salt when I didn't

[keen verge]

Tbh professional is a lot easier

[tacit niche]

Why’s that mate?

[deft loom]

I think i saw it was known

[keen verge]

Client side probably if he’s the leader

[hazy current]

If we're on at the same time I can teach you what I know

[keen verge]

Quicker to get activity and hunts

[tacit niche]

We are currently not really looping in hunts etc too. We just go hide 😆 but it seems like taking hunts and surviving them is something we need to get good at.

Ig this is why I’m thinking about optimising finding the ghost room, because we are conserving sanity

[keen verge]

No need to loop u can still hide in professional some spots will be blocked

[deft loom]

Yea prof isn't really much harder than intermediate

[tacit niche]

Good to know 🫡

[keen verge]

Up to nightmare are the most easier ones

[tacit niche]

We are not really playing the medium and big maps tho with us two right now

[keen verge]

Nightmare sounds harder than it is

It’s just 1 less evidence and u limit it down to certain few ghosts then u can easily mark them off with events abilities and hunts

[thorn spruce]

Me and my duo never play medium/big maps. We hate walking xD

[deft loom]

Same im a small map andy

[keen verge]

With a yurei ability though I’m pretty sure they can only close a door fully softly and a double door touch like a delay

Unless they’ve changed that Thwts how I always get the door for yurei

[deft loom]

Yurei can only fully open or fully close a door now
So if it barely touches a door u can rule it out now which is huge

[brave prairie]

Man and with no stamina.... I loaded us into Sunny Meadows the other day and after like 20min we were "My senses say its Moroi, lets just vote" cba

[thorn spruce]

Haha yea i think many ppl avoid larger maps anyway

Do yall play on asia servers usually?

[tacit niche]

So in terms of optimising finding the ghost room, does a combo of, temp/parabolic/emf seem solid?

[hazy current]

Yeah

[tacit niche]

If there’s better options I would appreciate knowing which and why. 🙏

[keen verge]

No I mean like it can only do it soft and not the hard slams

[brave prairie]

EU

[deft loom]

I think that might b true

[keen verge]

Mainly using video camera or thermo to find the room

Ghost orbs could be one way to find it

And emf

[tacit niche]

Aye but it just seems very slow with tier one temp and video. But ig I can swap between emf and orb, or orb and parabolic?

[keen verge]

I’m pretty sure it was recent for the past year though

[thorn spruce]

In small maps just go to all rooms with t3 thermo

[tacit niche]

We are a duo playing on intermediate like level 26 or something, fwiw

We have solved one or two professional

[deft loom]

The yurei specific touch was definitely more recognizable pre update

[brave prairie]

I'm just going to go ahead and ask my original question again.

Is torch necessary? Or is there something else everyone does to avoid it taking a slot?

[keen verge]

Now it’s kinda like any ghost can do the exact thing

[deft loom]

I use tier 2 head gear or no flashlight
I need the item slots

[brave prairie]

Bless you

[hazy current]

It's necessary once it's in the hunting threshold

[keen verge]

Tier 2 headgear is easy or just take flash light till u find the room then drop everything in the room

[brave prairie]

How so?

Aye, thank you

[tacit niche]

What level do u get this headgear? Can you remember off the top of your head?

Ty everyone appreciate the tips 🙏

[keen verge]

Around 30-40 I think

[hazy current]

For me I have tier 2 incense and it makes the ghost run away for long enough to escape

[brave prairie]

fml

[tacit niche]

Ah so we got a little while, we will get there tho!

[plush mountain]

I just opened the door and instantly heard the stuffed toy giggling lol. That's one way to find the ghost room...

[keen verge]

If ur making around 1500 xp you’ll get it in no time

[tacit niche]

We get like 6-700 on intermediate

[brave prairie]

I understand, but you mean incence then right? And not torch?

[thorn spruce]

Yea when u are starting out; the t1 thermo sucks. Finding ghosts take a long while. If u can hear where the ghost throws item u can guess where the ghost is. How far are u from t2 thermo?

[tacit niche]

A level or two, not so far.

[keen verge]

Take it to professional next to try it out if u don’t like it u can always go back to inter

[hazy current]

Oh the "torch" if you mean the lighter it doesn't take an inventory spot

[brave prairie]

Flashlight

[thorn spruce]

Nvidia filters, eliminates the need to bring torch

[tacit niche]

Very smart 😎

[hazy current]

What is the torch they're talking about cuz they said it's not incense or fire lights 😭

[keen verge]

Orrr just have ur brightness at 250

[tacit niche]

Hey who put all this pesky darkness in my game!

[brave prairie]

@tacit niche We're running with the big dogs now ❤️

[brave prairie]

Flashlight xD

[keen verge]

Always set the ingame brightness to 250

Otherwise ur blind the whole game unless u turn lights on

[hazy current]

Brightness still doesn't help me on prison and lighthouse lol

[tacit niche]

Aye I had to get Ashe to do it, she was playing hard mode 😆

[keen verge]

I run around without light on prison 😭

[brave prairie]

Saw for the first time in my life

[brave prairie]

Ewww

[keen verge]

If u get foggy weather it helps u see

[thorn spruce]

Wait ashe and pan u 2 are the duo?

[hazy current]

Oh flashlight isn't really that important unless you wanna test for a myling or don't have tier 2 headgear

[tacit niche]

Aye

[tacit niche]

We don’t have tier 2 headgear

Level 26 I think?

[thorn spruce]

When yall get t2 thermo finding the room is easier

[brave prairie]

Duo on Phas and an absolute unit on the basketball court

[hazy current]

Well unless you're on a huge map a flashlight isn't all that important for me at least

[tacit niche]

Hahaha

[brave prairie]

I see, thank you

[tacit niche]

Thank you!

[thorn spruce]

Nba duos

[keen verge]

Don’t really need a flash light to test it’s pretty easy to listen out for by how quiet it is from a certain distance like on tanglewood u won’t hear it in the garage

[brave prairie]

(Never played b-ball in my life)

[keen verge]

If ur in the nursery and it’s a myling in the garage u won’t hear it*

[tacit niche]

So just don’t bother using flashlight generally? Even for finding breaker or in case it goes off?

Ngl, the whole time we have played I have been the designated flashlight holder

[keen verge]

I never do I just run in there

[tacit niche]

Good to know, we will try it out

[keen verge]

U should be able to see the breaker on the map in the truck

[tacit niche]

Hope you’re all well and having a good day also!

[thorn spruce]

With filters torch isnt needed. But without it its good to bring torch

[tacit niche]

Im on console so I am handicapped in that regard. 250 brightness is my limit

[zinc coyote]

Shine a flashlight on your screen

[keen verge]

Yeah that’ll work 🤣🤣

[tacit niche]

Big Brains

[zinc coyote]

[thorn spruce]

Find breaker, turn on lights

[tacit niche]

I’ll light incense irl and start throwing crosses about.

[keen verge]

Nah screw it run in the dark loop the crawling ghost

[deft loom]

250 is like nothing
Looking forward to the engine upgrade, i hope it helps the lighting a lot

[zinc coyote]

It should

[deft loom]

Game is way too dark

[keen verge]

The lighting was made to be darker since it’s a ghost game supposedly horror supernatural feeling

[thorn spruce]

I miss being new to phasmo. We'd toggle to all our equipment and toss them away every single hunt. Then we are stuck and unsure how to get out after the hunt

[deft loom]

Yea its also a game tho n should b fun to play

[zinc coyote]

Depends on the map. WIth 250 brightness, light adaptation on, I can see fine in most maps without filters on

[keen verge]

It is fun to play they add and change up things so it’s not always a same feeling and doesn’t get boring

[deft loom]

Except grafton

[zinc coyote]

Yeah, except grafton lmao

[deft loom]

Abyssal darkness

[keen verge]

Yeah Grafton is just the worst

[zinc coyote]

Grafton is just pitch black

[thorn spruce]

Dont think anyone plays grafton much lel

[zinc coyote]

Bleasedale can get pretty dark too

[keen verge]

It’s the challenge rn 😭

[thorn spruce]

Seems the newer maps are getting darker.
